I graduated from the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey , California. We did a visit to Annapolis Naval Academy back in 1993. Great memories ! Be all you can be !!!
My father is a Naval Academy graduate and he developed a sonobuoy while working as an engineer at Magavox. The neatest past feat that he achived was having his sonobuoy dropped by the Navy as part of a test. It worked flawlessly!
There will NEVER be any sports rivalry bigger than Army/Navy. Growing up as the son of a 34-year Navy veteran, that Saturday in December was like a religious holiday in my house. I still carry on that tradition today in my own home. Love you and miss you, Dad. Go Navy!!!! Beat Army!!!!
You probably don’t remember but I got a picture with you at the Memphis game! Crazy to think a little over a year ago my mom and I were watching your videos. Your videos were what introduced me to service academies in the first place. I was fortunate enough to get into USMA, USAFA, and USNA, and I chose USNA cuz we’re obviously better! Go Navy, beat Air Force!
@@vincentvu1370 Dude, Sam's a former Air Force officer, so the beat Air Force was definitely called for here ;) Not sure if he attended USAFA or entered through a different track, but some of his earliest videos I watched were when he was active duty. Edited to add: Sam said in his USAFA video that he was a product of that slightly less presitigious institution ;)
I have grown up in Annapolis Maryland and I have been blessed to get to wrestle the naval midshipman this past summer and I have started working to join the marine corps
I was one of the "drags" that was at the Naval Academy for candidate visit weekend while you were filiming. That's actually the back of my head pointing you out to my plebe who stops and looks back in the bottom left of 18:19!! I had to do a double take when I saw you filming everyone walking into King Hall! Love the video and I hope to be there for real soon (knock on wood)!
In early retirement, I''m a part-time, flex employee of NABSD (Naval Academy Business Services Division), meaning that I get assignments to help out at The Midshipman Store (on The Yard), at The Sports Brigade Complex (across the Severn River) or at the warehouse (just off The Yard in Annapolis). However, I'm usually assigned to The GIft Shop on the academy grounds. I love it because of the professionalism and courtest always shown by the great people that work there. Plus, I get the chance to use my sales skills and background with all of the proceeds going directly to support the education of - and the programs for - our midshipmen. I could not be more honored to work anywhere else.
I just discovered this channel a few days ago (11/22/24), and was immediately impressed by the high quality of your videos, both in terms of content and production value. UA-cam is overflowing with AI-generated garbage, misinformation and mindless commentary. Your channel is the exact opposite of all that. What a breath of fresh air! Thank you for turning out such professional content, and for being so upbeat about it all. You're well on your way to a million subscribers!
20 years ago, I was recruited to row at the naval academy. At the last moment I decided on "traditional college". I wish to this day I had decided to go. If you get the chance, do it!
Thanks for talking to me at the Air Force-Navy game a little bit ago Sam, and thanks for letting me know about this video you had coming out soon. Loved it, and can’t wait to start my apps to both academies in a few short months!
I was the Facilities Operations Chief for Bancroft Hall for 3 years. You really cannot describe the size and magnitude of it, you just have to see it to believe it!
I’m a junior in high school and I’ve been pursuing naval aviation for the past 2 years and 5 months. The naval academy is my dream school, and I’m set to talk to my Blue and Gold Officer this weekend about the summer seminar. Awesome video, love to see the academy!
Being an Annapolitan native the Naval Academy is what I grew up with. It started on 1973 with sponsoring 13 mids and adding more over the years.me well I served 6 years in the Army.
Western Marylander here! Navy family, too! My uncle quit high school at age 17 years and joined the US Navy. He ended up on an Ammunition ship December 7,1941 at Pearl Harbor! He was a very proud member of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association/ Philadelphia chapter! I was very fortunate to be able to meet many of those Survivors at my Uncle's annual Pearl Harbor Survivors Association summer picnic , not far from Valley Forge Pennsylvania! My father was a former US Naval officer and scientist. Dad helped build the very first Atomic Reactors for Submarines/ Admiral Rickover's program. My brother's best friend Ken Waldie graduated from the Naval Academy! He was on a plane that hit the WTC September 11,2001! We were on our way to the Eastern Shore ,when dad suggested we stop at the Naval Academy. It was Ken 's first year! I always remember him running up to greet our family in his uniform! RIP Ken! We miss you buddy! He was always smiling ! GO NAVY! 🫡🫡🫡⚓️⛵️⚓️🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
My son is a 2019 USNA grad. This well made wonderful video captures it all and brings back all of the memories of my many visits during his four years. Well done young man! Carry on.
As a '21 grad this is the best video I've seen that's been done on life as a Midshipman so thank you for that! There was also a lot of B-Roll of my class in this one so I appreciate that as well.
I am from Uruguay, 85. I did visit the US Naval Academy at Annapolis MD back in 1963, while touring the States. I saw imposing old, grey buildings which obviously are no longer there, and some graceful sailboats moored near the premises. An ideal place to study everything related to ships. Thks for the fine video.
I'm not American, but this video made me admire the effort of these young people, their discipline, their team spirit and the passion they have for what they do. Congratulations.
Wow the campus is truly beautiful. Never been a big fan of the navy (I'm more of an Air Force / Marine Corps person) but this was really impressive, especially Bancroft hall.
@@Timmy-kb3nf There's still a distinction in classification, and I think he was making it pretty apparent that he was referring to them as seperate entities
"...Marines are navy though..." "...There's still a distinction in classification..." - - - - - Yeah... Marines just hate it when you tell them they're part of the Navy! :) The Marines are part of the Naval Service, and the Marine Corps is within the Department of the Navy... however the Marine Corps is considered a separate branch of the U.S. Armed Forces - BEAT ARMY!!
I was able to spend a semester there through the S.A.E.P. in 2016 and you did a wonderful job showcasing the USNA. Despite my short time there it is a time full of memories and good times with all the new friends I made.
OK ! As a son of a career musician at the USMA at West Point, this is my FIRST TIME learning, seeing the OTHER SIDE, Navy. Fifteen years at West Point as the son of a musician/soldier my life was influenced by West Point. So, seeing this video, I say, Impressive, outstanding, everything I saw and heard. Annapolis is a gorgeous site for learning, grooming, training future Naval officers. Thank you so much showing me this outstanding institution training men and women to lead and serve in the US Navy. So, tomorrow, we will see which academy claims the commanders trophy. As second best, you will definitely have a very tough mission. play hard and play well, you will need to. The Cadets at West Point are frosty, and Hungary. Bob Cocciardi, Clearwater, Florida who served 1967-1973, US AIR FORCE. All the best to ya’ll!
Proud of all who attend the United States Naval, Air Forces, Coast Guard Academy. But my heart and love is the Cadets who attend the United States Military Academy at West Point. The oldest and one of the most beautiful schools in the United States. Most visited. And as they say at West Point. GO ARMY BEAT NAVY
To foreigners,the American military is a force for good and a force responsible for a lot of pain and sorrow . Documentary like this replaces the bad with an image of responsible men and women whom only is out to serve their nation,I respect and even can relate with them.
I'm from Denmark, 56. I wish so hard, I was a teenager again, knowing what I know now, went to the US and joined this academy. I love the US, and welcome back President Trump !!
Blue and Gold Baby! GO NAVY, BEAT ARMY (And Air Force too, even though I love you Sam!) Proud navy family, three generations, all naval officers, with my brother being the third generation officer still in as a Lt Commander PAO officer. They didn't go to the Academy but a LOT of great family friends have!
this is great. Funny story for me is that I accidently applied to the Naval Academy when I was doing college applications. I applied to so many schools that somehow I managed to throw this in as well. I didn't know it until someone called to arrange my interview with the Senator of my state. I withdrew my application at that time because...true story...at that time, I couldn't swim. Pretty sure the Navy requires that specific skill set, lol.
I lived in Annapolis for a few years with my parents when I was young, and I’ve been back a few times. I got to go to the naval academy for an academic conference relatively recently, and it was so cool. Bancroft hall especially was absolutely amazing to see.
You’ve got to bring some light to forgotten aspects of the military man, this video was amazing, and I think could really get some eyes on places nobody looks!
Visit Texas A&M Corps of Cadets!!! The Fightin' Texas Aggie Cadet Corps. Contributed over 20,000 Aggies (14,000 of them were officers) to serve in WWII. More than the combined totals of West Point and Naval academy officers. Not only do we get a Cadet Corps here, get we the entire Aggie network. WHOOP!!! I'm a member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band which is part of the Aggie Corps, we are the largest Military marching band in the NATION. Also not to mention, the Texas Aggie Freshmen Drill team has 14 national championships in a row, beating the academies!!!😎
@@odgreen5655 I’m only a fan because I’m a grad. It’s only football game I generally watch. Gonna be a tough one again this year. Army’s had a good season. They’re gonna be hard to beat. I scoffed at it a bit when I was there (I was a prior enlisted Marine) but it’s a fun, spirited rivalry between two storied institutions. Nothing but respect for West Point cadet counterparts. They’re the oldest federal military academy and have produced some tremendous Americans and leaders.
60,000 start an application; 20,000 complete an application; there are 5,350 Congressional nominations and an unspecified number of Vice-Presidential nominations; 1,400 receive a LOA; 1,250 accept their LOA of whom 200-250 are recruited athletes and 50-75 are prior Enlisted and USNA Prep School. Congrats to USNA Class of 2029 LOA recipients. You earned it. Go Navy!
i was there in the morning in the rotunda watching you film the academy what a great chance you had to come back thanks Sam. sorry i wasn't able to get a picture i was super busy.
I’m from the Annapolis area. I wouldn’t say Downtown Annapolis feels like a typical college town. It feels firstly like a historic town where you’re stepping back in time. Very family oriented as well as artsy. Then there’s the unique atmosphere the Naval Academy brings-it’s a college yet it’s a military base.⚓️🦀
Oh please be thankful that you are not what has happened to the us military over past four years is not less than criminal Imagine a pilot flying a multi billion dollar aircraft determined by the color of skin or sexual preference they allow men in female bathrooms so imagine that
I live like 5 minutes up the road from the Academy and I've been watching you for a long time now. I cant believe I missed you while you were in Annapolis!
Of course at USMA, Plebes had to greet any upperclassman that they encountered. "Beat Navy" was an acceptable greeting but I always made sure to use it when I passed a Naval academy midshipman that was at West Point for the year. A typical response from the midshipman was, "In your dreams, mister, in your dreams."
Wow even a professional shoe maker, the almighty USA. I didn't born here but in Cuba, still a proud American naturalized citizen of the best nation of the world and history...
Shoutout to Dave Forman repping the great Class of '98, the last class to have a real plebe summer! Oh, and nice to see good old YP 698. Great memories of throwing up on the chart table in rough seas (for a YP, anyway) while underway to Boston in the summer of 1995. Go Navy, Beat Army!
Hello Sam! I know this video was posted about a week ago, and my comment is probably not going to be seen, but I do have some questions. 1. What are the requirements to apply for USAFA 2. How do they grade the USAFA 3. What is considered good grades when applying for USAFA? 4. Once you pass USAFA can you choose any career in USAF? Like Pararescue - Special Investigations? Thats all of got, continue making great videos for us all!
When you know that you've had a small part in helping a mid or an Air Force academy cadet pursue their dream of service it is quite humbling, one of my former Civil Air Patrol cadets is at Annapolis now and another is heading for USAFA. To have the USNA literally in my backyard is amazing!
My Cousin went to the Naval Academy and I went to the graduation but never got to look inside it. It was so coo to see what he was talking about during his experiences.
Loved the whole video but one small correction is that both the Men's and Women's Lacrosse programs are not club sports. They are NCAA Division I. Coming from a Sport Management Guy! Keep up the good work my man. Love all your videos. They're so educational and entertaining. Very well done and keeps the attention of the audience.
cant wait to see your other vids of the other military academies. i think the coast guard has one as well. people always forget about that. please do that one too
U.S. Air Force Academy ☑
U.S. Naval Academy ☑
I think I might know the answer... but where should I tour next? 👀
Westpoint! The Citadel!
VMI!
Academia Militar das Agulhas Negras - Brasil
West Point
Go to New London and the US Coast Guard Academy.
as someone born and raised in the Annapolis area i absolutely love what navy has brought and the strength i feel in that city
Got my appointment to the class of 2029 two weeks ago!
Congrats!! I’m applying this year too, just waiting for a nomination and LOA but everything else is done

How did you get your appointment so soon?

Hello Sam! I know this video was posted about a week ago, and my comment is probably not going to be seen, but I do have some questions.
1. What are the requirements to apply for USAFA
2. How do they grade the USAFA
3. What is considered good grades when applying for USAFA?
4. Once you pass USAFA can you choose any career in USAF? Like Pararescue - Special Investigations?
Thats all of got, continue making great videos for us all!
When you know that you've had a small part in helping a mid or an Air Force academy cadet pursue their dream of service it is quite humbling, one of my former Civil Air Patrol cadets is at Annapolis now and another is heading for USAFA. To have the USNA literally in my backyard is amazing!
5:56 Glad that you honor and respect the traditions of the U.S Naval Academy Sam!
GO NAVY BEAT ARMY !!!!
Bravo! Excellent video. GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY!
There's no military on earth I trust more for protecting my family's freedom than the United States Navy. 🇺🇸
Amazing video!
Most beneficial channel
My Cousin went to the Naval Academy and I went to the graduation but never got to look inside it. It was so coo to see what he was talking about during his experiences.
Thank you Navy.. I had gotten my GI bill Education Class of 1976 in California!
thank for the video Sam always excellent content
Loved the whole video but one small correction is that both the Men's and Women's Lacrosse programs are not club sports. They are NCAA Division I. Coming from a Sport Management Guy! Keep up the good work my man. Love all your videos. They're so educational and entertaining. Very well done and keeps the attention of the audience.
You always bring the best video! Thank you!
being an E-1 in aviation training rn, this has only strengthened my determination to become an officer and be a pilot
Wish I could’ve gotten into a place like this. Looks so epic
Navy has always provided excellent transportation for the USMC!!
14:45 Hell yea! Just like every Airman is a pilot!
cant wait to see your other vids of the other military academies. i think the coast guard has one as well. people always forget about that. please do that one too
Navy branch is actually one of my favorites.
